sos WALNUT ST., PHILADELPHIA March 10. 1887.
Hon. Z. A. Perry, Governor Of the State Of Florida:
DEAR SIR: When the report Of the Commission
appointed to ascertain and report the quantity Of
land reclaimed by the Okeechobee Company under
its contract with the Trustees Of the Internal I'm
provemeut Fund of Florida was first brought to
the notice OF the officers of that company the i'm
preston was that NO immediate action was called
for on the part Of the company. They thought
that the Legislature would meet Ia Q short time,
and that they would then have an opportunity to
be heard.
Thinking, however, that entire silence might be
misconstrued, have thought best to address you
the chief representative of the State Of Florida
ON the subject.
The report Of the Commission presents the
Okeechobee Company as the holder of large body
of State land to which 10 10 not justly entitled.
Ny reply 10 that the Okeechobee Company de-
mands no moro than justice, and would be INV ILL.,
ing to accept retain one acre OF land which they
thought had not been fairly earned.
In view OF the conflict OF the report OF the Com
misaion With those of the engineers appointed by
the Trustees OF the Internal improvement Fund. I
would suggest fair and Just method Of settling
the difference, the appointment OF Representatives
on the part Of the State and the company, who,

There are very few men who do not
pride themselves on always having the
correct time; and wonderful and delicate
mechanisms are devised to enable them
to do so. But the more delicate chro-
nometer is made, the more subject it be-
comes to arrangement, and unless it be
kept always perfectly clean, it soon loses
its usefulness. What wonder. then, that
the human machine-so much more deli
cate and intricate than any wort: of man
should require to be kept thoroughly
cleansed The liver is the handspring of
this complex structure. and on the impu-
rites left in the blood by disordered
liver, depend most of the ills that flesh rs
heir to. Even consumption (Which is
lung scrofula), is traceable to the imper-
feet action of this organ. Kidney dis
eases, skin diseases, sick headache, heart
disease. dropsy and a long catalogue of
grave maladies have their origin in a
torpid or sluggish liver. DR.. Pierce s
golden medical discovery, by establishing
healthy, normal action of the liver, acts
as cure and preventive of these dis
eases.

sAMPLE-Died. July 14th, 1857, of cholera NOR
bus, at her home near Presumption Mercer
county, Mrs. Experience Sample. in her seth
year.
Mrs. Experience Sample was born in
Connecticut, October 18th, 1898; was
married about 1915 to Harry Jinks.
There were five children by her first mar
rage and one now survives her. She
was married to Samuel Sample on the
2Stb of December. 1928, and moved to
Illinois October Is, 1885. and by the last
marriage there were nine children-six
bows and three girls-who are all living
except one daughter, who died in St.
Louis eight years ago. She experienced
religion in 1886, and has lived christian
life ever since. Six of her children were
present at her death, and seven at her fu-
neral services. About her last words
were Father, am going; l have got to
leave you" and her last words were to
Levi Sample, when he spoke of going for
the children, were, mot to hurry"
Dearest mother thou hast left u.s.
And thy loss we deeply feel;

For our mother in the tomb

In the hearts of each dear friend,
But we know unto our Father
All our sorrows we must bring

We know q crown awateth there;
For many years of love and patience,
Though the cross Of faith did bear.
Could we see thee now with angels

Wait for us In heaven above.
COZAD-Died in Reynolds July 10th. 1887, of
diptheria Ruth daughter of Dr.. and Mrs. NJ.
N. Cozad, aged years, month and % days.
Deceased was born IN Andalusia, May
90, 1882. She was child of unusual
promise, pure, bright and intelligent
She possessed mind superior to many
of her age; though never having attended
school she could read readily and was in
terested in other studies She began to
attend Sunday school when two and one
half years old, and from that time was
regular and faithful attendant. She
loved the Sunday school and could hardly
be persuaded to remaid at home when in
clement weather rendered it imprscticable
for her to attend: she was often carried
there at such times.
She also loved the mission band, at
which she was present the day before she
was taken sick. Here she would listen
with interest to the story of the Savior's
love and work, and the condition and
needs of many of the human family, and
would often express desire to be able to
go and tell the people about Jesus.
In the home there is sad vacancy,
but she has left q sweet and fragrant
memory. From the Sabbath School and
Mission band one is gone who cannot be
forgotten. She will live in the memory
of those who knew her, and to know her
was to love her. Her parents and broth
ers and sisters have the sincere sympathy
of the entire community in their bereave-
ment. How precious to them must be
the thought that her mind, character and
life have no stains of wrong and that her
pure spirit is with Him who loves us all
and where all is pure. B. F. c.

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND.
Importance of his Visit to Rock Isl
and Arsenal.
1t Would be an Easy Matter to Secure
his Assent to Come to Rock Island
Reasons why he Would Visit this
Particular Locality.

The Davenport Democrat Gazette is fol-
lowing in the track of the ARGUS in urg>
ing upon the citizens of the community
the propriety of extending an invitation
TO President Cleveland to visit US during
his western trip. That journal sensibly
says:
1t is believed that President Cleveland
will accept an invitation to visit Daven-
port. So far as government interests
are concerned. the inducement for pres.
idential visit to Davenport, Rock Island
and Moline are greater than for his pres
ence at St. Louis and Kansas City. Here
is the governments great arsenal and
armorY plant on which it has expended
eight millions of dollars, and on which it
proposes to spend millions more 1t is the
arsenal and armory of the government.
The president, doubtless, would like
to see the provisions here for
supplying the army-the most i'm
mense enterprise belonging to the war
department. There is none other like it
in the union. President Cleveland has
no adequate idea of its importance-eau
have none until he sees it. He has never
been west of Chicago, and spent but =
single day on business in that city. The
idea has gained lodgment in minds OF
western representatives and senators that
the administration is rather Inimical to
this arsenal and armorv, and is more in
aItpGA 10 ha n
carry the plans forward to completion
If this idea has good foundation, the best
way to change il is to have the president
on the ground. He will gain information
of great value to thesexecutive head OF
the government.
Another advantage from the presiden.
tisl visit will be new enlightenment con
corning the tremendous importance OF
the Hennepin canal Once in the upper
Mississippi valley the reasons for the de-
msnd of that canal will be as plain t.
President Cleveland as the necessity OF
| the Erie canal--a water route that he be-
lieves in with all his heart.
President Cleveland visits St. Louis il
September, and will probably accept
Kansas City's invitation. His trip tc
Davenport and tie arsenal will be just in
bis route east from either place.
Let public meeting be called-no
party meeting. but meeting of citi-
zens irrespective of party, and proper
STEPS taken to invite the president TO The
three cities. If it be done, 'twere well Il
do it quickly.
The proper way would be to have
joint action on the part of the three
cities. Let committees of the Business
Mems association meet and appoint I
committee to go to Washington and theI

however, in extending the invitation.
